This left the Tang family stunned.
Who would have thought that Ye Fengxing would personally arrange a car to take Tang Xiaomin home? Such treatment… they themselves didn't receive it.
With things said to this extent, if they continued to demand Tang Xiaomin leave with them, it would appear too deliberate.
Even though they were unwilling, Tang Zhongcheng and the others could only leave the Ye residence for now.
In the car, Tang Yiyi said uneasily, "Dad, Young Master Ye kept Eldest Sister behind. He doesn't believe she's gone mad, does he?"
Zhang Meiyu said, "Tang Xiaomin's recent erratic behavior, what's the difference between that and a madwoman? Perhaps Young Master Ye kept her to break off the engagement."
Tang Zhongcheng also said, "Old Master Ye would never allow a madwoman to enter the family. Yiyi, you can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yiyi finally smiled triumphantly.
Once Tang Xiaomin's engagement was broken off by the Ye family, she would definitely deal with her properly, torment her, and then throw her into an asylum to be locked up forever.
Dare to steal her things, she would make her pay the price.
...
The Ye Residence.
After the Tang family left, Old Master Ye suddenly laughed.
"Heh heh… such resolve at such a young age, very good." Su Dan Novel Network
These words made Tang Xiaomin feel ashamed.
Her family's commotion escalating into a physical fight was truly a spectacle for others.
"My parents and I had some minor disagreements. I apologize for making Grandpa Ye witness such a scene."
"I saw how your parents favored their adopted daughter. If you didn't show some courage, you'd truly be spineless. You did very well. The Ye family needs a daughter-in-law like you, who has both means and resolve, to manage the company with Fengxing in the future."
"Ah?"
Tang Xiaomin was somewhat overwhelmed by the praise.
In the eyes of her Tang family, her actions were considered rebellious. Yet, from Old Master Ye's perspective, they were seen as resourceful and bold.
"Grandpa Ye is too kind, too kind…"
She felt a little embarrassed.
Old Master Ye said, "I like your disposition very much. With more experience, you will surely be able to manage the group well with Fengxing in the future, and I can finally rest easy."
"You two discuss matters, I'm going to rest."
After Old Master Ye left, Tang Xiaomin was invited into another elegant room.
Exquisite tea and pastries were prepared on a low table. A tulip was placed in a vase, and a faint floral fragrance filled the air.
For some reason, whenever Tang Xiaomin was with Ye Fengxing, she felt a sense of stuffiness.
She even wished to distance herself from him a little.
Tang Xiaomin spoke first, "About that design proposal, what are your thoughts?"
Ye Fengxing calmly took a sip of tea with elegant demeanor and said lightly, "Let's eat something first, then we can talk. No rush."
Tang Xiaomin felt that Ye Fengxing was deliberately stalling for time.
However, thinking about it, for her own selfish reasons, she was indeed being unreasonable by insisting on including the old town in the design.
Ye Fengxing personally served a piece of dessert on a plate and placed it in front of Tang Xiaomin.
"If I guessed correctly, you must be hungry too."
Tang Xiaomin had rushed over immediately after being woken up by the phone call, and hadn't had time to eat. She was indeed hungry.
Wait!
Why were the tea and pastries prepared in advance?
Did he guess she was hungry from the moment he called her, and therefore deliberately prepared these for her to eat?
Tang Xiaomin recalled her past life. No matter how her Tang family slandered her, Ye Fengxing adamantly refused to break off the engagement.
Even that time when her adoptive parents were kidnapped by the Tang family, and she threatened to take her own life, causing him great embarrassment, he never relented.
Thinking about it now, why was Ye Fengxing so insistent?
Tang Xiaomin dared not overthink it; if she was wrong, it would be too awkward.
Ye Fengxing suddenly said, "It seems your relationship with your birth parents is somewhat tense. If you don't want to go back, you can stay at the Ye residence."
He was actually offering her a place to stay at the Ye residence? That was too good!
While it was good, Tang Xiaomin politely declined.
"Although we have an engagement, I am not officially married to you yet. It's not appropriate to move into the Ye residence now. Let's wait until after the wedding."
The main reason was that if she moved into the Ye residence, she would be far from the Tang family, making it difficult to deal with them.
Ye Fengxing hadn't expected to be rejected by a young girl under twenty.
It seemed she didn't quite understand what the Ye family represented.
Indeed, she was just an immature and impatient young girl.
Interesting.
The corners of Ye Fengxing's lips curved into a gentle smile, as warm as a spring breeze.
Tang Xiaomin said, "About the design proposal, what have you considered? If you truly find it difficult, then forget it."
As Tang Xiaomin spoke, she prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Ye Fengxing said, "Your design is excellent. I've decided to re-plan the project and include the old town."
"Really!"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much."
Tang Xiaomin repeatedly expressed her gratitude, her favorability towards Ye Fengxing increasing by several notches.
"Now, can you sit down and keep me company?" Ye Fengxing suddenly said.
Who could resist such a request?
Although Tang Xiaomin felt a sense of stuffiness when she was with Ye Fengxing, she still stayed with him in the elegant room until evening and had dinner together.
Earlier, he had said he would have the driver take her home. At the last moment, Ye Fengxing pulled open the car door of the pink Mercedes sports car Tang Xiaomin had driven, and got into the driver's seat.
Tang Xiaomin felt it was too much trouble and said, "You're taking me back, but how will you get back later?"
He wasn't going to ask her to take him back, was he? That would be too much trouble.
As soon as Tang Xiaomin finished speaking, a stretched Rolls-Royce drove out of the Ye residence.
Ye Fengxing said, "Don't worry, I'll have the driver drive my car over."
Tang Xiaomin: ...
So what was the point of him making this trip?
Could it be that, like couples in love, they were bored and just driving around aimlessly to spend more time together?
Tang Xiaomin's guess was soon confirmed.
At the speed Tang Xiaomin usually drove, which could reach over 200 mph, Ye Fengxing drove at a mere 20 mph.
At such a sluggish pace, several elderly people jogging had already overtaken them.
Tang Xiaomin rolled down the window, letting the breeze in to alleviate the stuffy feeling.
"This car isn't very suitable for you. Let me gift you a new one," Ye Fengxing suddenly said.
Speaking of which, accepting favors made things difficult. Tang Xiaomin already owed him for the matter of the old town.
"I'm doing this for your safety, please don't refuse me."
She had only met him a few times in this life, yet he was altering the project and offering to gift her a car.
This kind of treatment was like a dream. Tang Xiaomin could never have imagined that she would have such a good life in this lifetime.
At the Tang residence, hearing the sound of a car, Zhang Meiyu and Tang Yiyi eagerly waited to see Tang Xiaomin's embarrassment after her engagement was broken off.
However, when they saw Ye Fengxing step out of the driver's seat, their expressions instantly froze.
